Went into Cabala's at LaVista, NE yesterday to check the powder supply.
Fair inventory, but the surprise was NORMA MRP sitting there begging to be bought. Bought it all, 3#
I haven't seen MRP for years, been hoarding my last # for the .276 Dubiel which loves it.

Norma makes some of the best powders in the world. Had used N204 in my .270Win and N201 in my .222Rem long ago when you could still find it. Very accurate and consistent.

If you want some more, the Cabela's in Ohio has a bunch of it.

A couple of daya ago they also had two 8 lb. containers of IMR 3031 and an 8 lb. container of IMR 4350.

Isn't NORMA MRP the same as RELOADER 22?

I have been told that, but my .276 Dubiel doesn't think so, but could be lot variation.

They're close, but no cigar. MRP is similar to RL 22, 217 (replaced MRP-2) which was similar to RL 25.

I'd like to say the Reloaders are just an hair slower than the Norma equivalents. If you start midstream just work up a load without hesitation, bottom line is you need to start below max from the RL data.




There are two types of people in the world: those that get things done and those who make excuses. There are no others.

Norma doesn't make any powders. Norma-labeled powders are made by Bofors, which also makes several of the Alliant RL line. Bofors powders (whether Norma or Alliant) are infamous for greater lot-to-lot variations than canister powders from most suppliers. That's not to say they are not excellent powders, just to say that every lot is a rule unto itself as to relative burning rate and charges often must be adjusted significantly when changing lots.

I disagree about Norma powders having significant lot variation. Over here they are known for the opposite.

We can also buy another, similar, series of Norma powders for competitive shooting. This N series have more variation, half the price and reloading data printed on the box. Great stuff.
